'Our party and our nation are standing at a time for choosing. Victimhood or victory?,' he told cheering supporters, adding, 'Grievance or greatness?'
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott launched his presidential campaign on Monday, offering an optimistic and compassionate message he's hoping can contrast the two figures who have used political combativeness to dominate the early GOP primary field: former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Scott, 57, planned to huddle with home-state donors later Monday then begin a whirlwind, two-day campaign swing to Iowa and New Hampshire, which go first in GOP presidential primary voting. It's enough money, his team says, to keep Scott on the air with continuous TV ads in early voting states until the first round of votes next year.
Scott said Monday that America's promise means"you can go as high as our character, our grit, and our talent will take you."The Democratic National Committee responded to Scott's announcement by dismissing the notion that Scott offers much of an alternative to Trump's policies.
